Britain's What's On Event Guide
Sunday Afternoon Concert in Nottingham's Albert Hall
The final concert of our season is an afternoon of Eastern European inspired music:
Dvorak’s stunningly beautiful Cello Concerto is full of joyous themes inspired by his Czech homeland. It is his last solo concerto and was written in 1894 for his friend, the cellist Hanuš Wihan, but was premiered in London 2 years later by the English cellist Leo Stern. Our soloist Jacob Shaw is an international artist who brings music to a wider audience through many different initiatives.
Bartok’s virtuoso orchestral showpiece is one of his best known, most popular, and most accessible works. Bartók said that he called the piece a concerto rather than a symphony because of the way each section of instruments is treated in a soloistic and virtuosic way. It combines Western music with Hungarian folk melodies in a spectacular conclusion to the season.
